Yes, I should have been more concrete.  I don't know much of the Octave
codebase, but have recently studied the dbstop code.  I was trying to search
for all open bugs related to dbstop.  That is why I want to search, rather
than browsing all open bugs.

My guess is that it is a Savannah limitation, so I'll just live with it.

as with many sites, you can always try to use google site specific search to try to work around local search limitations.  bugs.octave.org redirects to http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=octave

so the following search should pick up the dbstop mentions that you're looking for (unfortunately along with any other bug mentioning or using dbstop):

https://www.google.com/search?q=%22dbstop%22+site:%22savannah.gnu.org%2Fbugs%2F%3Fgroup%3Doctave%22
